Why is The Hoover coming to be considered more and more essential by so many people who take pride in the immaculate cleanliness of their home surroundings? We attribute it to veteran Hoover owners who relate, in friendly circles, how thoroughly The Hoover cleans. They explain how by beating, The Hoover effectively dislodges buried grit from carpet depths—and that it eVen sweeps up delitter and lifts crushed nap, besides air-cleaning. Naturally they emphasize that only The Hoover possesses such ability.

TENNESSEE GOVERNOR CALLS SPECIAL SESSION

। ; The governor of Tennessee has Called the legislature of that state to meet in special session on August 9 to consider the ratification of the nineteenth amendment to the national constitution. This is the woman suffrage •amendment, which now needs the support of one more state to put it in force. Almost every northern state has ratified this Amendment, most of the southern states have refused to do so. The state of Georgia refused to ratify Monday when the Georgia state senate defeated ratification by a vote of 19 to 15. Crown 'Point is the mecca for Sunday pleasure seekers this year. The Lake county capitol with her horse, automobile and motorcycle races, her automobile polo and aeroplane stunts is attracting immense throngs. The town seems to .have suddenly wakened up until it is one of the leading center* of entertainment in the country. Probably Clarence Fate, head of the Chamber of Commerce, is. responsible for the unusual activity up that way. - The /College Inn restaurant, recently purchased by A. E. Wallace and Jack Murphy, will open within the next few days. New fixtures have been installed throughout. Morocco, Monon, Crown Point > and Wheatfield are repared to hanpdle many visitors at their Fifth of July celebrations. '

The wind caught his parachute and pulled him through the tail of the machine, tearing off the rudder. Bottreille landed near Germantown, ten miles west of here, with his parachute ripped where it had been in contact with the tail wires of the plane. The plane landed safely.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The Jordan township commencement was held at the Union school in Jordan township last Thursday night. A large crowd occupied all ;he available space inside the schoolwuse and the outside accommodated a much larger aggregation of men and boys who stood six deep at the doors and windows. Prof. Thomas F. Moran of Purdue University gave the address for the occasion before a class of seven young men and women. Prof. Moran spoke largely of the wonderful responsibility that rests at the doors of our young graduates at these reconstruction times. The Jensen family of Wheatfield opened the program with an excellent processional and followed throughout the program with some fine inspirational music. The Rev. Charles W. Postill of Rensselaer gave the invocation and benediction. The program was well spiced when Francis Brown, the vatedictori&n of Jordan township, gave a little talk in behalf of the class. The room was nicely decorated with flowers and flags. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Huff, trustee and wife, had spent an afternoon at the school ’building arranging and decorating for the occasion. t The regular monthly teachers examination was held at the high school building in Rensselaer last Saturday. The examination was small owing to the fact that most teachers are in attendance at vanous schools. State Supt. L. Hines sent state licenses’ to Opie Hafey of Remington and Mildred Kush of Rensselaer a few days tock. Those'who wrote for state licenses last Saturday were: Mae Clarke, Rensselaer; George Hammertmi, DeMotte; Minnie Waymire, Renuelaer: Lila Delahanty, Wheatfield; Martha Fac-os, Medaryyihe; Jane Parkison, Pleasant Ridge; FloicHce Brady, Thayer; Florence .JclUy. Fair Oaks; and Lucy Harns. Mount Ayr. Jasper county can congratulate herself upon the efficiency of the teaching corps that promises to guide the schools for 1920-21. Teachers are in normal schools more this year than any year prior This will result in educational efficiency that will find expression in practically every school room in Jasper county. The trustees are exerting themselves far beyond ordinary. to give better salaries to these public’ beneficiaries.

AMERICAN LEGION IN STATE MEETING

Historic Vincennes Greets Allies Of Armies, Which Once Visited It on Errands of War. Vincennes, Ind., June 28.—Historic Vincennes, which in its day has witnessed the coming of British and French troops on errands of war, is entertaining another army, the Indiana department of the American Legion. Oddly enough the guests of 1920 were the allies of the British, and French in the wcrld war, which gave birth to the new organization. British and French and American flags are intertwined in elaborate decorations that mark the welcome to several , thousand legionaries present for their annual convention. The -convention, which is to continue through Tuesday, was called to order at 10 o’clock this morning in the auditorium of Vincennes High School by Judge Raymond Springer, ■of Connersville, commander of the Indiana department. L. Russell Newgent, of Indianapolis, is the adjutant of the department. Dr. T. Victor Keene, of Indianapolis, executive board member for Indiana, arrived Saturday afternoon and participated in several of the meetings preliminary to the convention. Caucuses of the delegates representing Indiana districts also were held today to arrange for committee appointments and other details. Vincennes Mayor Speaks. The opening session consisted of the usual formal proceedings, including an address of welcome by J. D. ’ McDowell, mayor of Vincennes, ahd a response by Judge Springer. Robert Mcßride, of Indianapolis, department commander of the Indiana department, Grand Army of the Republic, greeted the Legion, the logical successors of the G. A. R. as the protectors of Old Glory. Homer Dale, Indiana department commander of the United Spanish-American War Veterans, added his greeting to that of Mr. Mcßride. Franklin D’Olier, national commander of the Legion, drew a great hand when he arose to accept the felicitations of the other commanders of war veteran bodies. Robert L. Moorhead, chairman of the state Americanism committee of the Legion, read his report at the afternoon session. He touched first on the organization of the national Americanism commission, with Arthur Woods of New York, as chairman. He reveiwed meetings held in Indianapolis, national headquarters and an address to the commission by Franklin D’Olier the national commander. Lucius B. Swift, of' Indianapolis, an authority on education and internaitonal problems, also addressed the Commission. Mr. Swift outlined to the commission his ideas on the furtherance of the propaganda to compel the teaching of- only one* language, English, in American schools. Mr. Moorhead told of the organization of an Americanism committee in Marion county and of a meeting held on Lincoln’s birthday as “Americanization day” in the public school of the state. . The conventipn showed much interest in Mr. Moorhead’s discussion of anti-American incidents m Adams, Decatur and Spencer counties, where the teaching of German in the schools is insisted on by certain influences. ’

The convention is expected to ■ take condemnatory action on the following clauses in Mr. Moorheads “In April I received information , that it was the purpose to abandon some of the township public schools in Adams county, and to substitute in their place parochial schools, so that the law prohibiting the teaching of German could be evaded. An investigation of this was made ana the county superintendent, one ot the township trustees, and one of the ‘school-teachers metwith your chairman in the office of the 8^ e superintendent of public instruction. This matter was thoroughly gone into and the report found to be correct. As far as lam able to learn, it is the present intention to abandon several public schools m Decatur county this summer and to substitute in their place P ar schools, directly under the charge of the German Lutheran church, f* the sole purpose of teaching german reading, writing and religionOwing to the power of this. cnurch in politics in that county, it is apparehtly impossible to secure any action in the matter through the local courts. This is a effort to defy the state ' a ’ B ’ n ? matter in which the basis of Americanism is assailed and is one which, in my judgment, should be strongly condemned, and «very effort " be made to circumvent this attempt to abolish our public schools. Unable to English. ' “Complaints have likewise been ‘ made that the parochial schools m . Harrison township, Spencer county, are teaching German to the ehfldren in spite of the protests of the parents. Many of these children are said to be unable to speak English. An election clerk in the recent primaries reported that many of the first voters, although born in the township, were unable to read the '• name* of the candidates on the tick- ' et, understanding Genrfan only. < Complaints have also been made about the use of Polish in the paro-

chial schools in Indiana Harbor and Whiting, to the exclusion of English. In all the cases referred to, this matter has been taken up by the local school officials and in some instances with the local post of the Legion, but without results. The report also condemned the attempt in several quarters to make St. Patrick’s day a day devoted to the condemnation of England, an ally of the United States in the war. The report urged the abandonment of the celebration in America of all holidays of foreign countries. The report also hinted that the American Legion should look into the patriotic records of several men on state tickets of the political parties and that, rumors being found correct, publicity be given these records prior to the election.

DELAY IN CALLING OF LEGISLATURE

Indianapolis, June 28.—The special session of the Indiana legislature, which Governor James P. Goodrich has announced he will call, will probably not assemble before July 12, political leaders predicted today. Ample time will be allowed for democratic members of the assembly to return from the San Francisco convention, it was said. Delay in drafting the proposed |lO,000,000 war memorial bill is also given as a reason for delay in issuing the call for the special session. The governor will confer Thursday ‘ with a number of Indiana attorneys regarding the war memorial bills and following this conference it is expected definite action will be taken on the subject._ Delay in drafting other bills, which it is expected will be presented at the session, has also been experienced.

BATTLE GROUND PREPARING FOR LEAGUE ASSEMBLY

Extensive improvement ana being made on the Battle Ground camp grounds in preparation for the Epworth League Institute which will be held July 19 and 26. The ministers who have been building the swimming pool, are now giving their attention to beautifying the grounds and making improvements that will provide better facilities for the leaguers. The large swimming pool that is almost completed is thirty-five feet by ninety feet and has a graduated depth of from two feet to eight feet.. This feature alone will be a great attraction for the young people during the recreation hours. Two new tennis courts have been made that will be appreciated by the devotees of this pastime, as the one court last year proved inadequate. Perhaps the improvement that will be the most appreciated will be the en-, larged dining room and the improved dining room service. It has been enlarged so that it is hoped the entire institute body may be seated at one time. The service will be on the cooperative plan, the meals being served at cost and will be under the institute management. The Rev. Blaine Kirkpatrick of Greencastle, president of the Institute announces a strong faculty for this year. Dr. J. W. R. Sumwait of Wilmington, Delaware, will be the Dean of the Institute agate this year and those who attended last year are 'greatly pleased at this announcement. Dr. L. F. W. Lesemann of Chicago, will have charge of the Morning Watch and Life Worker’s clases. The Rev. Guy Carpenter, of Valparaiso will have charge of the recreations again this year. Miss Berdinia Bennett will instruct jn Junior League Methods. The Rev. A. E. Monger of Sidney, Ohio, will conduct the ■ classes in Social Service. Dr. G. T. Durgin will conduct the classes in Missions and the Rev. R. C. Plank, of Elkhart wil present Evangelism. Last years’ attendance was more than sis; hundred while the indications at present indicate a much larger attendance. Ground was broken Friday for the erection of three new cottages on the camp grounds. All three cottages will be erected on the east side of the walk at the north entrance of the grounds. Two of the cottages will be. bungalows but the one to be built by the Terre Haute Leaguers- will be a twostorystructure. This latter dwelling is the first means of housing their delegations during the Epworth League Institute held annually on the grounds. Terre Haute has been • largely represented at the msfaI tute in former years, and as the I housing proposition was the eause ’ of much concern, five of the leagues, Maple Ave., Montrose, Centenary, First Church and Lafayette Avenue, considered and aooptea 1 plans for the erection of > » tage. The ground floor will be used as a living room, dining room and kitchen, while the entire upper • floor will be utilized as sleeping • rooms. It is thought other will follow the plan of the TOW • Haute Leagues and bufld their own home. A number of the young men - will help construct the cottage. J. F.
